History

Jumbo Stay is located inside a decommissioned Boeing 747-212B jetliner. The aircraft was originally built for Singapore Airlines in 1976, and later served with Pan American World Airways. Its last air operator was Transjet, a Swedish charter airline based out of Stockholm Arlanda Airport that went bankrupt in 2002.
The aircraft was bought by Oscar Diös in 2006, and moved to a location near Arlanda Airport. Its interior was almost entirely changed, although some features of the aircraft, such as the flight controls, were retained. It opened as a hotel in 2009.

The hotel

The JumboStay has 33 rooms with up to four beds in each. A larger room, branded the "cockpit suite", is located on the upper deck. Altogether, the hostel holds 76 beds. Some of the smaller rooms are located in the engines. The first-class lounge has been converted into a cafe which sells snacks and simple meals, and is open to the public.
The hotel is a 15-minute walk from the airport terminal and can be reached by shuttle bus.
